The letter sent by the company Leolabs Argentina SRL to Governor Gustavo Melella and partially disseminated by the provincial government itself through an official newsletter, raises a series of questions and reveals contradictions from both the company of British partners responsible for the installation of a radar in the vicinity of Tolhuin, as well as the provincial authorities who do not stop evading their own responsibilities regarding the matter.
In principle, the company announced in its letter that it will remove "certain electronic parts" from the radar located in the “El Relincho” ranch, that it will request the suspension of the electricity supply on the property and that it will change its corporate structure.
Now, Leolabs does not clarify which electronic parts it will remove from the radar and for what reason . Because if, as the company argues, the device has been "inactive since June 26", why remove "certain electronic parts" now? The removal of these parts would then seem to be the implicit confirmation that, as it is, the equipment can emit or receive some type of signal.
On the other hand, the firm insists that the business group is of American and not British origin. Although it does not provide a single element of evidence for this statement, it announces that it will change its corporate structure in Argentina.
It is worth asking then : Why do it if there are no doubts about the origin of the company? Modifying the company is also accepting that the current formation revealed its British origin, in at least some of its corporate components.
In relation to Leolabs ' arguments to maintain that radar does not have technical capabilities for military use, the truth is, it would have to be said that they seem written by a high school student.
Without any rigor or vocabulary or supporting evidence, they give the impression of not being at the level of the representatives of a multinational that provides military services to several States in the world, as is easy to verify with a quick search on official sites of those own countries.
That's on the company side.Because in relation to the provincial government, the lightness with which the alleged steps that the company will take are reported in a newsletter, without dedicating a line to explaining how the State will verify this situation, is quite embarrassing.
It is unheard of if not inexplicable that, in the face of an advance on the country's sovereignty confirmed by the Ministry of Defense itself, the province where the radar is installed limits itself to describing the will of the company and recounting its wishes and expression of interests.
It seems that the province will be content with Leolabs announcing that it will remove "certain electronic parts" (God forbid the precision) and that it will request the interruption of the electricity supply.
